Frequently Asked Questions
The ABS body dampens sustain and offers a brighter, more percussive tone compared to a wood body, sacrificing some warmth and complexity.
Roseacer is thermally treated maple, offering stability and a smooth feel; it's slightly harder and may feel a bit different than traditional rosewood.
The pickup is serviceable for basic amplification and recording; the 3-band EQ provides some tonal shaping, but don't expect high-end studio quality.
